- develop a stronger local community

Can You Please Help Us?
The Residents Association will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2012 and has worked to preserve and enhance the character of the Parish of Barkham as a community over these years. There is a large team of volunteers who help out in areas such as social events, the Development Watch and newsletter distribution. We have been unlucky recently that a number of these volunteers have moved out of the parish and so we really need some new blood to join us.
Current vacancies include a couple of newsletter rounds, the Development Watch team, the Social Committee and of course the BVRA Chairman role which has been vacant since Digby Carter moved away.
Please don’t wait for someone else to step forward! If you are able to offer a small amount of your time to help the local community via the BVRA please contact any of the committee members. Thank you!
